What Feather Bow is good for
Feather Bow serves as a ranged Phantom Edge, with Ranged Shot as its Field ability. At weapon level 10, Hundred-Pace Pierce raises its damage while enemies have not detected you.
Willow Step dodges are among its level arts at three levels, with movements to the side, forward, and back. You can shoot during each quick move, letting the bow help you change position in combat.
If you want another ranged option, the Flying Dagger is also a ranged Phantom Edge. For picks to use early in the game, see the best weapons early on.
